London 1665 is no place for Randal Holles, a former soldier in Cromwell's army, now that the monarchy has been restored and the exploits of the Republicans are being condemned in the highest degree. Holles, desperate for an escape from his hopeless situation and almost certain execution, sees no option but to accept the Duke of Wellington's rather dubious commission – to abduct a famous actress and bring her before him. However, as events take an unexpected turn, Holles is presented with the opportunity to be reinstated to his former glory. (Goodreads)
Автор жөнүндө
Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) was an Italian-English author whose swashbuckling tales of adventure and romance captivated early 20th-century readers. Born in Jesi, Italy, to an English mother and Italian father, both opera singers, Sabatini's multicultural upbringing enriched his storytelling with a unique blend of European sensibilities. Fluent in six languages by his teenage years, he eventually settled in England, where he embarked on his prolific writing career.Sabatini's novels, characterized by their vivid historical settings and dashing protagonists, have left an indelible mark on the adventure genre. His most famous works include "Scaramouche" and "Captain Blood," both of which were adapted into successful films, further cementing his legacy. His stories often explored themes of justice, honor, and the individual's struggle against societal constraints, resonating with readers during the tumultuous interwar period.Despite his popularity, Sabatini's life was not without controversy. He faced criticism for his romanticized portrayal of historical events and figures, which some contemporaries felt glossed over the harsher realities of the past. Nevertheless, his meticulous research and engaging narrative style won him a dedicated readership.Sabatini's influence extends to contemporary writers like George MacDonald Fraser and Bernard Cornwell, who have cited him as an inspiration. His revolutionary idea of blending meticulous historical detail with high-stakes adventure paved the way for modern historical fiction. Today, Rafael Sabatini is remembered not just as a master storyteller but as a pioneer who brought history to life with unparalleled flair and imagination.
